Today I ordered a bunch of parts that I have been lacking, including some H-Bridge drivers to drive the steppers (ST L298) and some random power transistors. It seems ridiculous, but it ended up taking the greater part of the evening just to figure out what parts to get and then verify that they will work. I also picked up a CPLD development board, in the hopes of making a simple peripheral controller to do massive amounts of IO, and possibly some PWM and encoder magic. Making the peripheral controllers in hardware should really simplify the software design. Really, that part just seems like a fun project.
